I stand up, but find Chief Aabel’s dry, worn voice cutting me off before I speak.

“How much profit?”

Hesk tells him and I laugh in their face.

My lip curls when I see the old chief sag in his chair, showing the same, worm eaten fatigue that made his woman look elsewhere. He can take the money, retire if he wants, but I’ve got a union to run. A city to cripple.

First, though, I lean in to tell the old chief just how low a coward he is. He wrinkles his nose again as I near, sniffs the air and inhales a whiff of his wife’s perfume on my sweat. I recognize the hard look he gives me in time to step back from the table, but not before one of his fists hammers into the side of my knee. I fall, and as the old chief weaves knob knuckled fingers around my throat, I notice Hesk ignoring us from his seat at the table. He has other things in mind, like profit spreads, now minus me.
